Kobe Bryant Will Get Mike D’Antoni Fired Through Twitter
Everyone knows how serious Kobe Bryant is about his team, the Los Angeles Lakers.

Los Angeles Lakers Should Amnesty Kobe Bryant, Not Pau Gasol
People don’t always do the smart things because of, well, less than intelligent decision making. While Kobe Bryant has been the face of the Los Angeles Lakers for over a decade, the Southern California will get over him eventually, like they do about everything, once the team built around others, specifically Dwight Howard, starts winning games at an acceptable rate.

Hate or Love Him, Kobe Bryant is a Physical Freak
Even if your favorite sport in the world is doing some Kobe Bryant bashing, the recent runs of games without rest while putting up some incredible numbers which most likely will be able to carry the Los Angeles Lakers into playoffs is one of the most incredible feats one of the best players in NBA history has pulled off, even if it’s not going to end up with a title ring.

Los Angeles Lakers – Kobe Bryant Doesn’t Have Anything Left to Give
The way things are going now, the Los Angeles Lakers will get into the playoffs thanks to Kobe Bryant simply feeding into something deep within him to play the entire 48 minutes, which nearly wasn’t enough against a team in semi-tank mode, losing nine consecutive games and playing four rookies in the starting lineup.
